My new ride!!
Well I know it's been quite a while for me having a Mustang worth talking about for quite some time now (Just past 3 years) and had a small piece of cash in my pocket and ran across a deal on a fairly clean 87 GT 5sp..... 
Ok the run down is It's got a anderson ford motorsport power pipe, 75mm maf, 70mm tb, ud pulleys, bbk shorty headers, o/r h-pipe, 40 series flowmaster catback, frpp aluminum ds, 3.73 gears, and Bogart racing wheels with brand new front runners and nitto dr's.... All new stock suspention 162,xxx on motor and body and drives better than my girls 01 GT IMO and better than most other mustangs I've driven with many many less miles too!!!
Oh I guess it's time for the pics..... Don't be too harsh...
Well I brought the car back to school in PA from VA (the ol' 2.3 Notch has been getting tired) and since I have access to a Dyno I figured Why not get it put on the dyno and see what she can do for some baseline number
The dyno is a dynojet, temp was 81.39 degrees w/ 54% humidity and it put down 240.05whp and 306.21wtq.... I don't think that's too shabby for what it is. I would post the vids up but I don't know how to get them from my phone to the computer....
None the less hope you have enjoyed checking out the new ride and sorry for any crappy pics (done on the cell phone)

Thanks man!!! I've been trying to as much as I can lol and will continue too! As long as the weather holds out I'll be taking it to Pittsburgh raceway tomorrow and getting a few runs in at the track!! At least a 1/4 mile one since most of the tracks close to me back in VA is 1/8 mile...

I know there is nothing to really be harsh about I just don't like talking anything up really.... But she will indeed be well taken care of every so often have her legs stretched a little bit!! haha
But I will say the paint could be in a lot better shape!!! about a year 1/2 ago it got painted and it was a very very bad job IMO. I know I couldn't do any better but still, b/c of the paint I'd say it's a 5-10 footer for sure. Other than that like you said It's in damn near pristine condition. Even though it's got the porno red interior even that is close to mint!! All though the map light doesn't work :/ lol

yea pictures tend to make paint look alot better in some cases i guess. Look at my car, it's a primer Rattle can white and it doesnt look too bad lol. But in pics yea your car looks good. Mine has the Ugly porno red interior as well, but it grew on me. It looks ok with the red and black dash with the red and black door panels. IDK what ford was thinking when they put red interior in these but it wasn't the best of decisions. As far as the maplight goes, its usually either it doesnt work or the ashtray door is broke, sadly its almost rare to have both lol.
